30 ans

I'm obsessed with a new song, Vincent Delerm's "Les filles de 1973 on trente ans," in which the singer waxes nostalgic about the girls of his generation, his adolescent friends and crushes who have just turned 30. The melody is catchy and wistful, and every time I listen to it, all the little hairs on my skin stand up in recognition.

("The ones who wrote essays/on Apartheid and on Che/The ones who sent rice/to Ethiopia and Somalia/The ones who said, 'you don't understand'")

There's something you don't expect about turning 30 -- the realization that everyone you grew up with is doing it, even the ones you haven't seen in years. Jofka Foreman, Gabby Leventhal, Katie McCaffery, Joy Kaplan, Cindy Vitiello, Emily Wilk. David Hand, John Sifton, Max Koltuv, Nicholas Callahan, Jeremy Hoffeld, Noah Shelansky. Are they all noticing the same faint lines around their eyes and lips? Do they have spouses? Mutual funds? Children? Can they explain in one sentence what they do for a living?

Emily B.'s birthday is next week. Shana's was in February and I forgot to send her a card. I'll include one with a gift for the baby, due next month. Kate H., who was always the first to do everything, would have turned 30 last December if her birthdays hadn't stopped in '94.

The most moving thing about the song is how quickly it dates itself. By the time the album, Kensington Square, was released a few weeks ago, the girls of 1973 were already turning 31.

ahh.... this is depressing! turning 30 has been horribly hard for me, i don't know about you... yes, my ex-classmates have children, families, stable jobs, spouses, or are already divorced... and i? what have i done with my life? i still look young but i feel my body getting old for the first time... i don't have the energy i had before... my little sisters and brother are the age i was when i first thought i was old... after 30, though, things have been easier but i'm expecting 35 to be difficult too. i didn't know that song, i'll try to find it now :) is it your b-day today? if so, HAPPY B-DAY :)

aaah, no it's not my birthday yet. October. I'm getting ready now, though. Since I was one of the younger kids in my class, I always started upping my age at the end of the school year so I wouldn't be left behind.

Even for men it's awful:http://www.u-blog.net/helvete/2003/10/09
I've post this note for my 30 in 2003, I'm a boy and I was born in 73, les garçons de 73 ont trente ans, if as me they where born in october!

The worst thing is the younger look, I mean my students think I'm getting old when I say them my age, some friends of mine had a baby last week, they're younger then me, weird feeling can't explain!
